  There were previous leaks that were covered here about it, here are two articles on it:

    We do know that Valve is working on a new VR headset that will be ARM based though

    is enough for most people to assume that an ARM VR headset is coming

    An assumption is not knowing a fact.

    It would be stupid for Valve to not at least to explore possibilities but to say that we know that Valve is working on an ARM VR headset is not truthful.

      I’d recommend looking at the articles I linked, I probably should have refreshed my memory on them better before commenting.

      In addition to knowing that valve is working on compatibility layers for running x86 on arm devices, there was also a steamVR update 9 months ago contains files for an ARM device code named deckard. There’s probably more relevant leaks too, I think some renders of deckard controllers got leaked at some point as well.

        GamingOnLinux is a shitty spam blog and not a reliable source. We saw Proton-ARM and Waydroid in SteamDB. That’s it. Everything else is conjecture.
